Hacking Hack SXOS

Imancol · Apr 24, 2021

LAST EDIT!
Fix the problem by resetting the console without clearing the save data, from the ADVANCED MENU.

Don't ask me why it was solved, I don't know exactly. Ah to be trash files or that generated conflict internally in the console.

Games that already work in .xci:
Go vacation
Star War Republic Commando

The Witcher 3 continues to bother, I will try without the Update, or installing the Update having only the Base as .xci

UPDATE: I found out the possible issue of The Witcher 3: DEfinitive Edition not being able to load in XCI with SXOS. Apparently the version of Definitive Edition contains an Update that would be 3.2, and when containing it with the most recent Update (3.7) a "virtual" cartridge error bounces when trying to mount it. You would have to install Update 3.7 on the console or extract or replace 3.2 with 3.7 contained in the Base game.

Some games wont work with required fw patched.
For example the update for monster hunter rise wont work with anything below firm 11·1

This is what I was talking about

Two negative sections of SXOS, games get corrupted in ExFat, patches are missing for recent games that don't work.

I have always used exfat and never had an issue with sxos

The super xci is working fine with sxos (v3.7 definitive edition + all dlc)

Agreed. I've it working fine too

I think that, not just an updated SXOS, but even the source code should "leak". Most of the money TX can make with switch is already done, at least for unpatched Erista switches, while the newest selling point is the modchips themselves, which are already gone or to be gone soon. So I think they would have an elegant "ending" ( for this battle at least ) on the switch scene by releasing the sources and they wouldn't need to work on it anymore.

They will be able to make money by selling SXOS to Mariko users once clone chips are a thing. There is some strong evidence that some will be coming soon shipped with SpacecraftNX.

That's honestly very good news on the hardware front, can you elaborate on that ? Thank you.

About making money with SX OS, well, if that means renewed support and, let's call it that way, the comeback of SXOS, I am glad for that too, that would mean long live SXOS, good news indeed.

As above - You can make a small Emu nand, with only a 64 MB user partition for use with SXOS using NxNandManager - which only uses about 2 gig sd card space if space is an issue for you. I've got one of those and another small Emu nand for Atmos as well, both take up less than 5 gig out of my 256 Gig micro sd card. I use Atmos for most stuff, then for XCI I switch to SXOS using a payload switcher. This is not a big deal to set up and gives you ALL the features of both CFW.

Thats super small, how do you manage saves? I have the same setup but with 2 6gb emunands which gives me about 3.4gb user partition in each of them

I usually just use a full size hidden emunand partition for everything such as games/homebrew etc. And a small file CLEAN file based emunand for testing stuff and getting firmware or XCI game updates. (It's easily restored to sd card and compressed it's only 875 megs on my laptop and less than 3 gig on the Micro SD card).

I don't know too much about it but I saw people talking about it in the TX Discord. There were images of chips and some videos of them being programmed with SpacecraftNX / booting Atmosphere. The chips are almost identical except for a small difference on the part that connects to the Nand. I've only seen them booting on full sized units so I don't know if they're also making SX Lite clones but I imagine they are if they've went this far with cloning the SX Core.

Here's that program compiled for windows for those that don't know how to do that. The program basically converts bmp files into the correct format (BGR and rotates & flips them). You will still need a script to inject these images into SXOS - I take it this will be posted at some point?

I need to fix the splash screen and create one for LM3.

Sorry if my question is stupid. But, in the case that SX never updates again the CFW, could it be possible that someone could modify the cracked SX to work on OFW 12.x ?? I of course don´t know anything about how that works. Just a wild thought that crossed my mind, seeing that SX has been cracked. It would be very cool tho.

By the by, those splash screen and custom logos look pretty cool, great work.

The super xci is working fine with sxos (v3.7 definitive edition + all dlc)

How do you create the Super XCI?
Are you using the version with the ID 00100BFE00E9CA00?

EDIT: At the end of moving so many games to .XCI, it ended up corrupting the base game of The Witcher. I also have problems with Smash Bros, it goes black and when you return to Home you see the exclamation icon of damaged data.

I think it would be better to go back to .NSZ and hope that one day SXOS supports NTFS or go to FAT32 which implies splitting the .XCI every 4GB.

If the ppl have the source code...then maybe yes. But that's not the case.
